Interviewed for a job late 2018. Accepted another offer. A day later, the first job reached out and I told them. Lost job for going to HR over a verbally abusive boss. Is it weird to reach back out...

100%. You took the opportunity that was there, and it doesn’t sound like there were any hard feelings with Job 1 so don’t think they would fault you for that.

Just don’t openly badmouth your previous employer during the interview or you risk sounding like nothing more than a jilted, bitter ex.

Instead, you can indirectly speak to the things that were *not* working for you at Job 2 by stressing all the things are important to you (and that you’d find in Job 1 presumably) like opportunities for growth, a fun and respectful work environment, high team morale, etc.

...to the first job I interviewed at seeing if they’re still looking? I feel ashamed since it’s only been like 4 months.

Reach out! Worst they can say is no.

Hey OP, jr here — I’m wondering if you can help me understand what constitutes verbal abuse in the workplace? It sounds like you dealt with it twice, and as someone in my first job, I’m not sure what’s “normal” vs “abusive” (seems like it should be a no brainer, and yet..!)

DM me. I’d rather not share on here.

SO beyond frustrated with my work environment I think it may be time to leave for good. I returned from maternity leave after 4 years of working at my very old-school, boys club, nepotism-friendly company. The number of remarks I got on my appearance, my pregnancy and etc was a little annoying before I left, but since I've come back it's been nothing but comments on how they can't believe I'm leaving my husband home with the baby etc. Sorry for the long post just needed to vent!!
